🐠 Fisher's Angelfish (Centropyge fisheri)
A Compact Orange-Brown Body With a Sapphire-Blue Outline • A True Hawaiian Endemic • One of the Smallest, More Reef-Friendly Dwarf Angels
 
📋 Fisher's Angelfish, also known as the Orange Angelfish or Fisher's Pygmy Angelfish, is a compact dwarf angelfish, predominantly deep orange-brown with a thin sapphire-blue outline along the belly and anal fin, and a pale, almost translucent yellow tail.
Found only around the Hawaiian Islands and Johnston Atoll, this species is a true endemic with a limited natural range, making it meaningfully less common than widely distributed relatives like the Coral Beauty Angelfish. It's also one of the smallest Centropyge species available, ideal for more modest reef tanks. Every Fisher's Angelfish we ship is feeding well.
It's generally regarded as one of the more reef-friendly dwarf angelfish, though consistent, varied feeding matters: an underfed specimen is more likely to nip at corals or clam mantles. It's also intolerant of similarly sized or coloured angelfish, so keep it as the only dwarf angel in the tank unless introducing multiple species simultaneously to a large system. It reaches up to 6cm, so a 115L tank suits it well.
